Spezza owns world class offensive ability. He is an extremely talented and creative playmaker, with the size and hands to control the puck for long stretches. Has learned to use his fine shot more, and developed a good two-way game.

Named AHL MVP in 04/05 when playing for the Binghamton Senators during the NHL lockout. The following season, he scored 90 points in 68 games for Ottawa. Made his World Championship debut in 2008. (Ronnie Johansson)
